Philly's first bird flu case is a sick goose, but threat to humans is low, officials say
Avian flu is a common illness among birds, but it can spread to humans and other mammals. The virus is shed through excretions, such as saliva and feces. Exposure to sick or dead animals is the primary way humans contract bird flu, according to the CDC.
An alert on the Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area website warns that bird flu could be affecting any geese migrating through the area.
